'I was a bit unlady like, I told him to kiss my a**': Sinitta reveals her fury at her X Factor snub from Simon Cowell... as Louis Walsh jokes music mogul was wearing 'high heels' after his shock fall

She found herself 'axed' from The X Factor in 2016, prompting a feud between herself and her ex-beau Simon Cowell as a result.

The music mogul, 58, had dropped the So Macho singer, 54, in favour of Cheryl this year, with former Spice Girls Mel B and Emma Bunton joining him as his guest mentors during the show's highly anticipated Judges' Houses round in 2016.

Despite the the tension between herself and Simon that followed, Sinitta has revealed she is now 'over' the snub, admitting she had been 'unlady like' about the debacle during an appearance on ITV's Lorraine on Friday.

On hearing of Cheryl's re-addition to the show, Sinitta had expressed her fury in a very public outburst that reprimanded Simon and recalling her reaction, she told Lorraine: 'It was bit unlady like, I told him to kiss my black... thing. Yes, behind.'

Sinitta had explained in an interview with The Sun that she was forced to miss 2016's series of The X Factor due to a breast cancer scare and had been looking forward to reuniting with Simon this year.

She furiously slammed her former flame and said: 'Simon promised me the job for life and he didn't ever want to do it with anyone else.

Talk of the town! Simon was hot topic of conversation during Louis Walsh's live interview on This Morning that followed just hours later, as the Irish music mogul joked about his boss' fall

'Last year I had a breast cancer scare and was having a biopsy done so I missed it and this year I was excited to be clear, healthy and fearless and they did this.'

However, since then, Sinitta admits that she is now 'over' her feud with Simon and doesn't want to ruin the close bond they have shared for several years.

She told host Lorraine Kelly: 'The friendship is more important than the show, I’m over it now.'

Sinitta then revealed that it had been Simon's shock fall at his London home at the end of October that had helped repair their friendship. He fell down the stairs after fainting due to low blood pressure and had to be stretchered out of his property and rushed to hospital.

Kiss and made up! Although, the reality star revealed it is all now water under the bridge, as she reached out to Simon following his fall at his London home at the end of October and it had helped to 'cure the rift'

While he sustained no serious injuries, Simon had to undergo many tests and was forced to miss the first weekend of X Factor's live shows as a result.

Speaking of his fall, Sinitta said: 'I have spoken to Simon since,' quickly joking that it 'wasn't her' that had 'pushed him' down the stairs, before adding: 'It did actually help cure the rift.'

She wasn't the only one to mention Simon's fall on TV on Friday, as X Factor judge Louis Walsh had appeared on This Morning just a couple of hours later.

Although, the Irish star couldn't resist mocking his boss, as he joked that Simon 'shouldn't be wearing high heels' when asked if he was OK following his accident.

Louis joked: 'He’s fine now! Wearing high heels late at night is never a good thing...'

Making light of it: His accident was topic of conversation later on in the day during Louis' This Morning interview, as he couldn't resist teasing his boss over his mishap

While Louis gushed that he and Simon are 'really good mates', he insisted he would never venture overseas with his pal when asked about the duo's Christmas plans, teasing: 'I never holiday with Simon, no, its enough working with him.'

His comments come after reports claimed Simon is now embarking on a health kick. He had feared he had 'broken his neck' after falling down the stairs and has now vowed to take 'good care' of himself.

Simon told Now magazine that he is now cutting down on the amount of cigarettes per day and has ditched alcohol from diet. Known for previously smoking 80 cigarettes a day, he told the publication: 'I've cut down smoking to two [cigarettes] a day. That's it!'

Simon, meanwhile, later spoke about the fall and revealed he had fainted as a result of low blood pressure. Speaking to The Sun, Simon vowed to clean up his lifestyle for the sake of his young son Eric, three, whom he shares with Lauren.

He claimed it was his 'responsibility' as a father to take care of his health.

'Sometimes we get a reminder that we're not invincible and this was certainly mine,' he said.

'It was a huge shock. They think I fainted because I had low blood pressure and so I have got to really take good care of myself to sort that out. After all I am a dad and have more responsibility than ever.'

Explaining how the fall had happened, he added: 'I'd gone to get some hot milk because I felt ropey. On the way back upstairs, I just remember feeling really dizzy.'

'Next thing I know someone was putting a neck brace on me and I had a terrible headache, which must have been from me hitting the stairs.'

Hopeful: Louis, meanwhile, spoke of his hopes to reach the X Factor final with one of his acts this year, backing his hopeful Lloyd Macey to make it to the last three

'I was worried at first that I'd done some real damage. But I'm on the mend now. I know I was very lucky I didn't hurt myself seriously. It could have been a lot worse. I must say, everyone at the hospital were incredible. I'm truly grateful.'

Cowell reprised his judging role in week two of the X Factor live shows, while sporting a faded bruise on his neck as he gave his category, the Groups, some words of advice during rehearsals.

He has three acts currently left in the competition Sean & Conor Price, Rak-Su and The Cutkelvins. Louis has just two acts, boys Lloyd Macey and Sam Black.

Speaking of his hopes to reach the final, Louis added during his This Morning interview: 'I want to get someone in the final, I've got two boys left, they're good. Lloyd is really really different, I think he'll make the final. I thought Sam was going to go home last week, but he was saved because the public like him.

'We have some really good talent this year - we've never had this much talent!'

Meanwhile, Sinitta had addressed her past appearance on I'm A Celebrity ahead of the much-loved reality series' return this Sunday.

She stressed that the conditions campmates have to endure are brutal and claimed she wouldn't go back on the show, unless it was to stay at the luxury Versace hotel.

Sinitta claimed: 'I thought it can't be that bad, it's a TV show, we'll have beds, Versace hotel, they can't really make you sleep out there and starve you. I knew the spiders would be real, but I didn't think it would be that bad... but they let you starve!'

Not so fun! Keen to keep the critters at bay, Sinitta recalled wearing every item of clothing she had been given and tucking it in to stop bugs from crawling on her - a far cry from her usually scanty ensembles, she joked: 'I thought I was going to be Sinitta bikini!'

'The worst thing was the first night being put into a cave and it filled with cockroaches, I stood up all night because they said if you stay in you get people their luxury items.'
